a little Star Wars in church

thinking of you at the National Cathedral in DC.... 



a glimpse of the Darth Vadar gargoyle at the Cathedral 

"In the 1980s, while the west towers were under construction, Washington National Cathedral held a decorative sculpture competition for children. Word of the competition was spread nationwide through National GeographicWorld Magazine. The third-place winner was Christopher Rader, with his drawing of that fearful villain, Darth Vader. The fierce head was sculpted by Jay Hall Carpenter, carved by Patrick J. Plunkett, and placed high upon the northwest tower of the Cathedral."
